Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide
a photomask equipped with a dust-proofing device which has
high ultraviolet transmittance in a short wavelength region
and high light resistance and is free from the necessity of
the substitution with inert gas and also to provide an
exposure method using this photomask. The photomask
equipped with a dust-proofing device is produced by
overlapping a ultraviolet ray-transmittable transparent
substrate on the side of the light-shading film pattern
surface of the photomask to apply the photomask to the
transparent substrate tightly by exhausting and removing the
air present between the photomask and the transparent
substrate. A transparent film which transmits ultraviolet
rays may be formed on the surface of the photomask on the
side of a light-shading film pattern surface and a
ultraviolet ray-transmittable transparent substrate may be
overlapped on the transparent film to apply the photomask
to the transparent substrate tightly by exhausting and
removing the air present between the transparent film and
the transparent substrate.

Abstract: A simulation device (1) for simulating an
operation of a system constituted by a plurality of
machines such as robots, at low cost. An operation
program is executed by an arithmetic processing unit
(6) in a controller of a machine or by an information
processing device having a function of analyzing the
operation program equivalent to the controller of the
machine, to obtain operation command data for the
machine. The obtained operation command data of the
machine with lapsing time information are received by
the simulation device (1) and stored as historical
data. Operation programs of all of the machines
constituting the system are executed to obtain
historical data of operations of all of the machines.
The collected historical data are united by arranging
the data in time series from a start of simultaneous
operations of the machines based on the lapsing time
information. Images (7,8) of three-dimensional models
of the machines are displayed by animation based on the
united historical data of the system to simulate the
operation of the system. It is not necessary for one
arithmetic processing unit to execute the operation
programs for the plurality of machines at a time, so
that the simulation device (1) is provided at low cost.

Abstract: A new and improved intraoral sensor for use in a filmless radiography system is
disclosed. The sensor is configured to fit comfortably and close to a target area in an
intraoral cavity. By providing a comfortable relative to the target area, the sensor is
ergonomically improved, in terms of its comfort and feel to a dental patient. Whereas
prior sensors had housings that were generally rectangular and flat (particularly in cross
section), the sensor of the present invention has a predetermined curvature in any plane
through the sensor. This makes the sensor more comfortable for a patient in comparison
to the prior sensors. In addition, the configuration of the sensor is designed to allow the
sensor to be placed closer to a target area in an oral cavity than prior sensors (i.e. closer to
target teeth, gum, etc). Moreover, the sensor is configured so that it can easily be located
in a correct position relative to the target area, and when located correctly to properly
position its sensing structure for receiving radiant energy These features are believed to
reduce refractive error in the image received by the sensor, thereby improving the image
data transmitted by the sensor. Still further, the preferred configuration of the sensor is
relatively thin, which also contributes to the improved ergonomics of the sensor, and
enables the sensor to get closer to the target area of an oral cavity, thereby improving the
image data transmitted by the sensor.
